# Digital Occlusion for Timing Your Posterior Door Stops James Downs, DMDThe T-Scan puts your articulating paper marks into context by showing the force of marks you need to care about, to help reduce treatment time and improve patient care. T-Scan helps clarify your patient's occlusion by showing you the forces of paper marks that need management, to protect your patient's investment, so you can maximize valuable chair time.

Place in a slow speed handpiece for electric motor and set the RPM for high mode. Have the patient bite only in CO with Accufilm. Locate the first initial hit and lightly touch the articulation marks according to the scan. Locate the first early timing marks again and lightly adjust. Then take another T-Scan. Repeat.
